Try using CDONTS (default comonent) for sending mail. Also ask your host about the component (if any) that they have installed for sending mail.

Unlike CGI/PERL scripts, ASP scripts do not need any permissions to be defined. They run out-of-the-box as the support for them is inbuilt in IIS.
Which mail component are you using from the ASP script to send emails? Is this mail component supported by your hosting provider? Are you hosting on a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 server? CDONTS has been replaced by CDOSYS under windows 2003 unless the hosting provider has configured the support for CDONTS. :D
Now again, if you are running PERL scripts on a Windows server, you can ignore the path to PERL in your scripts. It's got no use. Moreover, sendmail may not be supported by your host.
